Your chance to get involved in the FFS Scout Network

Want to join the Scout Network or work for Fantasy Football Scout? Now is your chance.

We have been the leading voice in all things FPL for over 12 years, working with an engaged community of fans, addicts and pioneers to create the best content. Mark Sutherns created the site as a place for Fantasy Football fans to come together to discuss tactics, make informed captain decisions and commiserate over 59th minute substitutions, a function it fulfils even today.

We were the first to create in-depth professional editorial content and share innovative tools like Fixture Tickers; the first to provide a definitive injuries and bans list and resources like set-piece takers; the first to utilise Opta stats to take analysis to the next level and the first to build a members area to allow others to play with that data themselves.

Our leagues have dominated FPL for years, many of the top players (including four of the last seven winners) were FFS members, most were users and our tools are utilised by many of the games themselves.

But we didn’t do this alone. It has always been a team game, working with and serving the wider community. Which is why, unlike most Fantasy channels, we make so much content available for free.

It’s also why we want to hear from you now if you’d like to get involved and join the Scout Network.

Building on the work we’ve done this year with the Pro Pundits program, we want to reach even wider for the 2020/21 season, with the creation of a Scout Network that supports upcoming creators to grow and monetise their social or video channels, allows tool-makers to promote their genius to a wider audience and genuinely gives opinionated Fantasy managers everywhere a better chance to be heard.

So if you have a cool tool you’d like to share with the world, a social or video channel that you’d like to work with FFS to grow and monetise, some amazing tech skills you’d like to contribute or just some great insight that you need to share, we want to hear from you!

Just fill out this simple form with some relevant info and we’ll guarantee to check it out and come back to you.

    5th in money league and looking to push. 2 above me have free hits.

    What is better:
    A) stick with Bruno and benched Jimi
    Or
    B) switch to Kane and Souchek (bench)

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years

      B

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

    4. StellaMan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Catch up in ML. Dropped from 3rd to 5th last week due to sterling. Want to finish with a bang!

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Can you win it?

        1. StellaMan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No, 70 points behind 1st.
          Top 5 pays - I was 20th the start of the year so happy to cash.

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Nice, good luck

    5. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Around 200pts

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Shouldnt be a problem for a seasoned veteran like yourself

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Easy, just being realistic

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Whos your captain?

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Was going to figure that out tomorrow. No need to overthink it.

          Probably Jonjo Shelvey

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Nice, play it safe

    6. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maintain top 5k, win ML

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        How close is the ML?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          34 point lead but 2nd & 3rd have FH

          I'm also likely to take a hit Puli/Bruno to Silva

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I dont think thats a hit i would take fwiw

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks, I think Silva has a higher ceiling than Puli and FH's will defo bring him in, flavour for the GW, protectionism

    7. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mini and money leagues under on, currently 30k ish. Want to be in the top 20k. Annoying as I was top 10k for a while and fell away

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Whatever happens, thats a good rank

    8. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Stay in top 1k. Can be hard without FH though. Currently sat at 800 something.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nice work, going to be tense!

      2. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        For sure. Good luck on reaching your goal!

        1. beric
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers man!

    9. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      ML leader too far ahead (39 points) so getting into top 10K -presently on 15 K

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        39 isnt totally out of the question! Keep the faith

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers- captaining Kane as he does not have him. He will captain Sterling who I also have so down to that really. Kane hat trick and Sterling blank and game on 🙂

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Good luck man!

    10. yalala
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      At 61k, up 55 vs FH-less rival

      I'm using my FH on template + a few fun punts.. maybe a big haul from (C) Son to get me to top 50k

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Very similar to me then, good luck man!

    11. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Protect 21 point lead without any chip vs rival's Salah (TC), who I do not have.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        will you captain salah too? Thats pretty tight

        1. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I do not have Salah. I am captaining Kane or Dilva and hoping for the best. Who would you captain?

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Probably kane out of them. No sterling?

    12. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      End on a green arrow, with FH

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Setting achievable goals is key to a happy life

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Well I hope it is achievable!

    13. InterUranus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maintain 44 point ML lead and hopefully break top 50k. My first season inside top 100k so things are looking up.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nicely done getting to 100k, its my first season playing properly for years - im pleased to be in the 5 figure club

    14. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not fall out of the top 200k 😆

      What a rubbish season...

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Meh its not too bad man. I think youve beaten irbox, and he'll be the first to tell you how good he is

    15. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      To make up a 30 point deficit in my local mini league with the aid of the FH chip which if i manage to pull off should also see me sneak into the top 10k.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Could be a seriously dramatic last day for you. Fingers crossed it is!

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks Beric and best of luck to you in your goals too.

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers mate!

    16. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nothing as such.
      Would be happy with a green arrow. 🙂

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well i hope you get it. Took your advice re antonio btw. Going for pulisic

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No pressure Pulisic !
          😀
          Let's be honest. It's a win win for you. If Pulisic wins Awesome. If Antonio wins, Villa gets relegated (probably ) 😉

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yep, my logic exactly

    17. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      winning my ML. 20 points ahead but nervous. £500 on the line

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Wow. GL bro

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          cheers Amey

      2. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I wish i could convince my mates to play for cash!

        Thats well tense man. Good luck!

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          thanks Beric! you too mate

    18. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Learn from my mistakes for next season, never happens...

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hard to learn from mistakes in this game, the temptation each week is real

    19. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Seal victories in my 2 MLs. One would be 4th year in a row (58 points ahead currently) and one would be 2nd year in a row (5 points ahead currently). Was around 100 points behind in both MLs at the turn of the year. So, it's been a good comeback.

      58k OR. Would love to get into the Top 50k. Kane/Dilva (TC) hopefully to do the trick.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Sounds like youre im a good position. Good luck

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah. It's been good since the restart, apart from my last 2 captaincy choices (Sterling and Bruno - both 1 pointers).

          Good to luck toy you too! Hopefully, we both will be in the Top 50k come tomorrow.

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers mate, we go for it!

    20. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Need 120 pts to win Mini league but will probably get 45 points.

      My restart has been a disaster dropped from 75K to 160K

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ouch, unlucky dude. 160k is still pretty good

    21. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same. 66k, hoping for top 50k.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        We can do it man

    22. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Was 60K, so if I get to 100K I'm happy. Won my FFS HU league, going up a level next season.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nice work on the ffs hu league man

    23. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hoping for another top 50k finish. Would be nice to get 30/40K but have to be realistic as there will be a lot of chips played.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Top 50k is a pretty good achievement if you ask me

    24. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Score 132 points to repay the 32 point hit I’ve taken and still win my ML (30 points behind).

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        32 point hit?! Jesus, i hope it wasnt to get jesus

    25. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have a Cup Final with £150 to the winner. We both have FHs but he has a significantly cheaper squad. (107 vs 98)

      You know how this ends...

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thats some excitement right there. Good luck and great username

    26. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      To win a cash league plus b competitive mini league I’m in. Stay in the top 5k OR, if I could break into the top 2k, that would be grand

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Wow great season. Good luck tomorrow dude

    27. L S P
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Win my ML (leading by 26pts)

      Finish top 25k (currently 37k)

      Not completely screw up my FH (TBD)

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Should win the ML, top 25k is gunna be tight. Good luck

    28. Pep Pig
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If I'm honest it feels quite underwhelming. Had a great 2nd half of the season and have my mini leagues wrapped up. At risk of sounding arrogant I know, but there won't be the same excitement as in previous seasons when my leagues have been much tighter.
      Currently 2.3k and could push for top 1k which would be amazing but my MLs are always my focus and not OR

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Similar position man. Im ahead by about 130 points, i had it won a while ago.

        Less fun when youre not really checking other peoples teams. At least we won

        1. Ian J
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          definitely agree with the ML competition - my nearest rival have been swapping the lead every game week - really pushed me to plan and select best players and consequently my OR has got better, even if I have managed to shake off the rival

    29. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Top100. Now 131. Win minileagues with 5k price, nr1 in both.

      1. Pep Pig
        • 7 Years

        Brilliant mate....Good luck

      2. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bloody hell, dizzy heights! Good luck, but if it doesnt go as you hoped then youll be on an amazing rank anyway

      Started project restart around 15k and hoping for a top 10k finish.

      As the last gameweek approaches I find myself inside the top 1k and I would love to have my third ever finish there.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years

        Awesome man, rooting for you. Ive only managed the 2 myself

    31. lugacun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      get in the top 1k for the first time this year, and actually for the first time ever

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Amazing work. Good luck tomorrow

    32. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Win one of my leagues (am 3rd, 12 points of top)

      Stay in top 5k, hopefully top 4k! Currently 4.0k

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thats an exciting finish man. Hope you win it

    33. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Trying to stay in the top 1k, currently only 12 points ahead of 1,000th.

      Lead ML all season. Now 2nd by a point. About 600€ on the line. No cash for second place.
      Objective: win

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Right down to the wire, love it. Good luck

    35. FPL Xylophone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      To get ready for next fpl season

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Haha, not gone to plan huh

    36. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Current OR 3,600. With no chips left I'd love any sort of green arrow. If it's red, I just want to stay inside top 5k.

      Won my work ML with nice prize of £300. Won another ML with £100 prize. Chasing 12 pts behind in final ML but doubt I'll catch him as he's on FH and will probably block all my high upside players.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fair enough. Great season for you no matter what happens. 12 points can be made up, chips or not

    37. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Currently 11k, break into top 10k. Ahead in one ML by 82 behind in another by 43. An unrealistic double would be nice!

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Its not totally beyond the realms of possibility. All the best!

    38. Lord Heskey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Setting on 2k now but targeting a 3 digits rank, hopefully the TC pays out

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Quite a big ask. But if anyone can do it I'm sure its you, Lord Heskey

    39. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Win my ML - lead by 5 pts (came 4th last season, so will be better)
      Green arrow - break into 2K (just outside at mo)
      already best season ever
      Leicester to beat Man Utd (Leicester already in Europe)
      so I have more than already achieved my aims so v happy
      I'll enjoy the last game week.
      wishing everyone else green arrows and good luck

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Great season and great outlook. Do you take such a diplomatic approach to your whole life? If so, good for you. Good luck, I hope you break 1k, let alone 2.

    40. Gangster Panda
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      My goal is always to beat my previous best points & or scores, should do both this time.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Keeping it simple, good luck to you.

    41. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lucky to have such a low-scoring ML

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Its been more competitive in the past, and i wasnt in the lead half way through the season. Also i would argue its a lot more fun when your rivals are on your heels.

    42. Clint Dempsey
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Try to beat my last years rank (630)
      Now on 1173.
      Triple cap sterling or KDB?

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thats a pretty big jump you're hoping for. Whatever happens its a great season youve had. Gotta be sterling for me, assuming he starts.

        1. Clint Dempsey
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Im positive about it tho. Id take 629 😉

    43. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years

      Currently 73k so aiming to stay inside the top 1%

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pretty much the same as me. Lets hope we can get up to 50k! Good luck

        1. Lukakuna
          • 7 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Sitting at 1645 but in lockdown was at 602. Back into top 1k would be great although just holding rank now will still be my best season.

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pragmatic, whatever happens youve smashed it. Hope you make the top 1k

    45. Forever In Our Shadow

      Just finish with a good gw. Just keeps the fire burning and yearning for more.

      Finish top million.

      Been playing ten years.

      Only other time I did this badly was the season I made no transfers all season.

      What a crap season

  4. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years

    Pick the best
    A- Ederson + Branthwaite
    B- Pope + Pieters / 4.9 M

    Tinkering again..

    Pulisic + Jesus(have Dilva/Raz)

    Thanks

  6. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Puli has to have less possibility of points than Bruno?

    Rested Wolves vs decimated Leicester back line

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Id rather have bruno for sure

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      But have you watched either of them play recently? If Chelsea score, Puli is likely involved. Penandes has played crazy minutes recently.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Longest rest he's had recently - a whole extra day lol

        Yeah I hear you but an early goal in the Leicester fixture for Utd and they will swarm like killer bees

      2. Camino Aleatorio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why oh why did OGS play his best team in FA in the midst of a tight schedule?

        Plus Pogba is a goal nullifier. He’s lazy and stupid. Hand balls, wasted shots, plays no defense, and lingering off sides.

  7. Can’t beat em so&hell…

    A) Foden

    Oh how lovely a Leicester win would be tomorrow.

    1. StellaMan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would be fantastic though our form has been dreadful of late, we don't really deserve it

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Leicester have been poor since early December but I can't stand Man United and their fans. Would be hilarious if they didn't get it.

    Which combo gets more points:

    A)Vardy , Vvd , Martial , Pulisic

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      excellent

    3. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Similar to me, except I have Salah and KDB

      KWP is a busher, Robo is good but his mates aren’t playing D anymore, Mahrez is not nailed

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think the argument for Mahrez would be that he played in the fa cup game, which you’d say is probably their strongest line up. Pep had talked about wanting this to be warm up for RM. I’d be confident (as much as you can with pep) that he starts. Robo has had some great attacking stats recently. Would prefer TAA, but price point is an issue.

  13. BurnMyBread
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is it too much to have both Robertson and TAA? Considering the possibility of neither of them getting any attacking returns and the midfield/forward options I'll be missing out on.

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think its too much yeah

    2. XX SMICER XX
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I had both in my free hit draft. Removed Robertson as I have concerns about rotation

    3. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like it actually. Gives you more freedom in midfield as you don’t need to have Salah/Mane.

  14. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who is more likely to keep a clean sheet -

    A. Brighton against Burnley
    B. Southampton against Sheffield

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      b

    2. Catastrophe

      B..

    3. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      B - KWP

  15. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If Foden starts ( big IF imo ) my transfers will be KDB and Rashford to Sterling and Ings but if we get some early team news and Foden is benched will it be worth taking a hit with the below moves?

    Bruno, Foden, Doherty to Pieters, Sterling and fodder -4 ( and play Greenwood)

    McCarthy (Henderson)
    TAA-Doherty-Lamptey (O’Connell-Taylor)
    Salah-Bruno-KDB-Pulisic-Foden
    Jesus-Rashford (Greenwood)

    2FT 0.3 ITB

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes IMO

  16. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If I know that my rival wont sell KDB could a KDB to Mahrez move be a shrewed differential?

    KdB is likely to be giving penalties away and is desperate for assists than goals

    I need to try take a risk

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you need to take a risk, why not ?

  17. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If you were chasing, which triple up would you go for?
    A) robbo, trent, mane /Salah
    B) robbo, mane, salah

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      b

    2. Blandiblub
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      With the world and his wife going on triple City attack, B would be a decent differential.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Would still be triple City :
        Pope
        Robbo Dawson pieters
        Salah mane sterling dilva
        Ings jesus greenwood

        1. Blandiblub
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Lovely. I meant that most won't have the space or money to keep triple City AND both Salah & Mane.

  18. Oooo Matron

    TAA Aurier Pieters
    Mane Mahrez KDB Fernandes Foden
    Kane Jiminez

    Subs: Wood, Doherty, Lascelles

        Kane probably, the safe bet minutes-wise.

  19. Blandiblub
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1) Sterling & Ings
    2) Dilva & Kane

    What is going on with Pep & Sterling in the “easier” home games of late?

    WHM 0 mins
    BUR 0 mins
    NEW 29 mins
    BOU 45 mins
    NOR ?? Mins

    Also got a duck egg/zero mins in the 8-0 vs Norwich back at the start of the season as well...

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      8-0 vs. WATFORD

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        So are you suggesting that we don’t go for Sterling?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No way - couldn’t possibly suggest that

          Trying to figure out if we’re being set up for a fall though

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I guess Pep saw those games as perfect opportunities to rest Sterling.

      But it's probably different for this game.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He’s such a nightmare for FPL

        Imagine how great a stable city lineup would be

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah would just mean everyone owns the same City players and make the game more boring..

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            How would you own Auba, Salah, City players, Utd attackers, Kane, Son, Jimmy, Ings, Vardy... Christ knows who else... you can’t own em all

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years

              If I knew who played for City every week then Auba/Kane/Utd attackers and others wouldn't be anywhere near my team.

                Yeah true Auba shouldn’t really be in that equation, he’s just not at that level

                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Well he was the highest scoring striker in the game last season and is a better option than Kane imo.

                    It’s not hard to be better than big Harry these days though, oh how the mighty have fallen!

          Those early season captain fails really hurt me. Capped him for the Watford game but I had Mane VC when everyone else had KDB VC (19 pointer).

          Just unnecessary worry, I mean it's totally conceivable that there will be a shocking void in the line up but do we really need to dwell on it!

      Blimey Maximus dont spook me now.....I wont sleep, I have decided on Sterling for the armband !!!!!

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yup - Kind of leaning that way myself now Corgzzz - after running some numbers on Sterlings ownership...

        Sitting in the top 10k so I don’t need to climb, just need to ensure no fall!

          3 years, 8 months ago

          Can you please help me out on this -

          Which one -

          A. Doherty, Greenwood
          B. Aurier, Greenwood
          C. Dunk, Dilva (-4)

          *I’m already playing Bruno and Rashford in my starting XI.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            At a kneejerk I’d say B there, not a fan of hits at the best of times and think doc is probably starting from a baseline of a goal conceded

            1. Vazza
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              OK great, thanks buddy. Im just a bit hesitant to play 3 united attackers this week.

            2. Vazza
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Oh one last question please. Would you start with Aurier or VVD?

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Probably Aurier!

      How about MCI wins comfortably 3-0

      1-0, Goal by Otamendi on cornerkick scramble, no assist
      2-0, Goal by Jesus on a Krul fumble, no assists
      3-0, Own Goal by Max Aaron after deflecting a KDB screamer

      Sterling 6 shots, 3 big chances but Krul is huge and the post stops a few.

      KDB hits the post, Jesus wiffs on two open goal assists

      Sterling -3 pts, KDB- 3 pts, Mahrez 2- pts, DSilva - 3 pmts

      All bonus to Otamenedi

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        How about the match just cancelled because the Norwich players fail to show up?

        1. Camino Aleatorio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Norwich might just claim widespread COVID spread after a Pukki Party ... game cancelled

          MCI triple up is a laughingstock!

  22. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    3 City attackers or Ederson?

    Since restart

    Ederson 42 points
    Best 3rd City attacker 55 points

    That’s just picking the best from each match. It could be Bilva Foden or KdB - Ederson of course is a constant. You need to get all 3 best returns in attack to better the Ederson return

    Worth noting Norwich are outliers in attack not defence. It’s their one goal that marks them out - plenty of other sides have leaked as many

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Have Norwich not conceded 70 goals this season?

      I think you’d want one of the attackers having a better chance of >6 points than Big Ed

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You have to guess which one and even then the stats suggest only a couple of points more than Ederson who is “guaranteed” 6 points

        The 3rd attacker doesn’t usually produce much

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Hmmm... But by only getting two attackers are you not limiting yourself to having to guess as well? Only with less of the goals to go around?

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            See below.

            Yes I guess. But wondering if there are better odds in selecting talismen from other likely teams. Potentially a higher upside?

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Honestly with the best attack (97 scored) going up against the worst defence (70 conceded) I’m just trying to walk the age old tightrope of not trying to be too clever by swerving city attackers with not taking anything for granted by triple captaining someone who Pep decides to give a 1 minuter!

              1. pingissimus
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                I like the counterintuitive 🙂

        2. Camino Aleatorio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          But you don’t know who will erupt- Sterling might have 8 shots and only get 1 assist, Foden might score 2 in 20 minutes of play.

          So you want to cast a big net for MCI and hope you get the 17 point player.

          Sterling, Silva D, KDB, Jesus, Mahrez are all possible haulers.

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            That’s the argument - really just questioning the assumption that 3 attackers is definitely the way to go. The biggest upside may (bold underlined) be 2

        3. Rover
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I made this mistake in my GW36 free hit. Ederson guaranteed 6 points I thought, left David Silva out in midfield as a result. Has the potential to bite back bad.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fair point and overlooked by myself for sure, but how many has Pope got in the same time? Must be close if not more.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Think Ederson is just ahead - extra game of course. But Brighton are much more likely than Norwich surely

        Real question is for me the value in selecting 3 to get 2. A bit like going Mo Mane knowing that one Iis likely to produce but that they almost never haul together

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Get 3 starting City mids and thats highly likely 3 clean sheet points to the 4 Ed picks up.

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            So a loss

            You get 2 from the mids you do play. 6 versus 3.

            1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Do what you like I just think Edersen v Norwich is a waste

  23. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1) Vardy, Bruno > Kane(tc), Dilva
    2) Vardy, Bruno > Wood, Sterling(tc)
    3) Vardy, Pulisic, Bruno > Wood, Sterling(tc), Dilva (-4) -- 3x City worth a hit?

    Presented this way, the answer appears to be #1, but looking at the squad as a whole... why no Sterling? Hence, the hit option.

    Is it that much of a coin flip?

    ML lead is 31. My TC vs. rival's FH.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      3 could work out well if we get leaked lineups
      I am telling that especially due to tc chip

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks much! The TC makes me feel better at the hit, for sure.

  24. BlueEddy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you bench?

    a) Jimenez
    b) Greenwood
    c) Pulisic

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A or B

    2. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not Jimenez at least..

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Got to be Greenwood

    3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you at it objectively then Pulisic faces the most difficult defence imo

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hey buddy! Need your assistance please.

        Which one of these would you recommend -

        A. Doherty, Greenwood
        B. Aurier, Greenwood
        C. Dunk, Dilva (-4)

        *I’m already playing Bruno and Rashford in my starting XI.

        Thanks

      2. BlueEddy

        true but look at what he did against Liverpool when he came off the bench...

    4. Amey

    5. Rover

      Do you have a pet that can help you make this decision? If not, then do a 3-way toss-up. The outcomes may end up being different but I don't think you can make a wrong decision here.

      1. BlueEddy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think it's a toss up between between Jimenez and Greenwood. Jimi could easily score against a shaky Chelsea defence. Greenwood....hmmm...not sure. Could easily score as well. My rival has both and will no doubt play both...I have to either play safe and play them both and cover my opponent, or risk it and play Pulisic and bench one...

  25. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years

    Honestly thinking of Reina instead of Martinez for my FH team. What do you lads think?

    1. beric
      • 12 Years

      I think martinez tbh

    At a loss here, any replies appreciated

    McCarthy
    TAA Egan Pieters
    Willian Fernandes KDB Martial
    Vardy Auba Ings

    4.0 Sarr cheapy def x 2

    A) Vardy to Jesus
    B) Willian to DSilva
    C) both for -4pts
    D) Sarr, Willian + Vardy to Sterling DSilva + 4.4m forward -8pts (Go 3-5-2)

    Currently on C but unsure if I can go without Sterling... thoughts?

    I have absolutely nothing to lose, not going to win any mini leagues and am thinking of taking a -12 hit to finish on a high. Either that or a -8 as I am lacking Man City coverage. Mad?

    1. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years

      Not mad at all, people take this game far too seriously. Have some fun!

    Hey Guys can someone please help me?

    I'm the leader of my ML with 24+ points to the opponents. My problem: the guys who can beat me are all salah owners, but me not.

    My Team:
    De Gea, (Martin)
    VVD, Pieters, Saiss, (Neco Williams, Holgate)
    Sterling, KDB, Foden, Martial, Bruno
    Auba, Jimenez, (Conolly)

    My plan: Buy Salah for safety + D.Silva + Nketiah and sell Martial, Foden & Auba. So i would take a -8 hit.
    Alternative: Buy D.Silva + Aurier + Trézéguet and sell Martial, Foden & Holgate. (Also -8 hit)

    Which idea is better?

    I'm sitting on my Triple C chip und really want to captain Sterling. But I'm afraid of a salah hat trick with Triple C for my opponents...

    Do you think then it's better to ignore Salah and go for Auba instead? And improve my defense because Saiss, Neco and Holgate maybe do not play...? Or is Salah in my situation a MUST HAVE?

    Thanks for your help!

    1. InterUranus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Don't take a -8 hit, that puts your lead down to 16 already. If you have similar teams, can you see the players your rivals currently have, scoring more than 24 collectively?

      1. jaycarlo45
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well, Salah could alone get 24 points, especially with trip c... I think they also will make a -4 hit minimum... The teams are too different to go for this safety strategy

        1. InterUranus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Pick the best team available to you, regardless of your opponent and if they beat you then you can't look back and say you messed it up trying to be clever.

  30. InterUranus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you:

    A) Play the team you think will score the most points
    B) Block your mini league rival by selecting his players?

    No moral high ground here.
